Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
캠벨타운의 보리만을 골라 1966년에 증류한 원액이 버번 오크 캐스크 안에서 33년을 머문 시간이 향에서 입까지 일관되게 흐른다. 노즈에는 짭조름한 바닷바람과 마른 견과, 살짝 그을린 헤더가 또렷하게 드러난다. 입에서는 캐러멜과 가죽, 빻은 후추가 묵직하게 입을 채우고 55.8도의 알코올이 단단한 구조를 잡는다. 잔에는 짙은 황금빛이 잠겨 있고 마무리는 짭조름한 토피 여운으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
very punchy and very chocolaty, the kind of chocolaty notes that often come with very high ABV’s. Also coffee (same comments) but not much else. With water: unlike with the 1990, water doesn’t work at all here, as the whole gets plastic-like and even a little smelly (gym socks). You’ll have to wait for quite a long time before it gets a little cleaner (but very yeasty)
restaurant Palate
as hot and spirity as the 1990 but less kirschy. Anyway, this isn’t meant to be sipped at cask strength, so, with water… Much better now but it’s a little late, isn’t it! ‘Smoked oranges’ and black tea (indeed)
timer Finish
long, orangey and peppery
